Job 4:12-21

12Now to me a word was secretly brought, and mine ear received a whisper thereof. 13In thoughts from visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men: — 14Fear came on me, and trembling, and made all my bones to shake; 15And a spirit passed before my face — the hair of my flesh stood up — 16It stood still; I could not discern the appearance thereof: a form was before mine eyes; I heard a slight murmur and a voice: 17Shall [mortal] man be more just than 1God? Shall a man be purer than his Maker? 18Lo, he trusteth not his servants, and his angels he chargeth with folly: 19How much more them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed as the moth! 20From morning to evening are they smitten: without any heeding it, they perish for ever. 21Is not their tent-cord torn away in them? they die, and without wisdom.
